Long-Term Outcomes of Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Gastric Bypass
There are no significant differences between the SG and RYGB in long-term outcomes regarding BMI before surgery and at follow-up, after four years, while there were statistically significant differences between them after four years than one year after surgery, and both groups showed a significant decrease in weight. However, RYGB shows improvement to some extent in comorbidities within follow-up period, including BMI, T2DM, HT, DL, HT, DL, GERD, and joint pain than SG, but with a higher rate of minor complications, while greater resolution of OSAS occurred in SG. Finally, at four years, there were no discernible variations in BMI between SG and RYGB because the patients' mean BMI was within the obese range once more.
